Compressed files are a convenient way to manage files and compress multiple files and folders into a single file for easy transfer and storage. However, there are times when we may need to encrypt a compressed file to ensure the security of the file. Here's how to add a password to a zip file:
Method 1: Compress and encrypt with the help of Jinzhou zip decompression
Step 1: Click on the "Compress File" function on the zip decompression page of Jinzhou.
Step 2: After adding the zip file, click on "Add Password" below.
Step 3: Enter the password you want to set and remember to register the password to prevent forgetting.
Step 4: After the compression is completed, click "Go to Export Folder" to view the encrypted files.
When you click on the file, you will be prompted to enter a password to view it.
Method 2: Encrypt files with the help of Winrar
Step 1: Select Files to Compress: In the compression software, select the files or folders you want to compress. You can select the files by clicking the "Add" button or by dragging and dropping the files into the software's interface.
Step 2: Create a password: In the compression software, you need to create one. The password can be any character, including letters, numbers, and special characters. Make sure to choose a strong password for added security for your files.
Step 3: Compress the file: After setting the password, click the "Compress" button or select the "Save" option in the "File" menu to compress the file and add the password.
Step 4: Save the Compressed File: Once you are done compressing, you need to save the compressed file to your desired location. You can choose to save to your local hard drive, external storage device, network location, and more.
Now, your zip file has been successfully added with the password. Only those who know the password can open and access the contents of the compressed file. Please note that to ensure security, please always keep your password safe and avoid sharing it with others.
